I am primarily interested in the functional and evolutionary morphology of vertebrate structures with unique features and proprieties.
So far my research had focused on the complex systems involved in fish communication. More specifically, I am aiming to understand how they operate and why they are so diverse. I recently joined a international team working on multidisciplinary aspects of lizard osteoderms. Among lizards, those mineralized structures are morphologically diverse and histologically complex. The specific goal of the experiments conducted in Herrel's Lab is identifying the different biomechanical roles of osteoderms having different anatomical features. Since a multidisciplinary approach is required to answer those questions, my research projects are at the crossroad between morphology, physiology, neurobiology, signal analysis, behavior, and evolutionary biology.
